Soft to the Touch. Exactly How I Imagine Joseph. JoJo Ties Fan Product Review!

Once again, you remember the JoJo suits by Haruyama, right? Pure fandom and pure style as you would expect from a product based on the most stylish beatdown manga. If you happen to be on the fence, I have some news that could tip them in your favor. First off, someone was nice enough to send me not only their product review of the Joseph ties:

They are very soft to the touch and easy to wear. Adjusting your Jojo to your preferred height can be a little fiddly, but no more than any other printed design. Of the two, the Joseph Ending Design (on the left and on me) has the more visible texture lines in the print while the Joseph Key Visual Design has significantly fewer artifacts. Looking closely, it appears to be due to the scale of Joseph’s face as the rest of the tie design isn’t showing the fabric texture. They both are lovely ties and I’m looking forward to bringing Joseph to fancy events & business throw downs.

but second off, where they got them from. Reckless!Excessive!!Japan!!! or Re!Ex!!Japan!!! has a whole host of JoJo based goods and other shows as well. That includes all the suit pieces, which are currently in stock from what I just saw, except for the suit jacket. If that’s a deal breaker for you, though, it does have one of the best JoJo products I’ve ever seen. Give them a look, though it does occasionally give me spam redirects. It’s probably an ad problem because it’s inconsistent, but be cautious.

(Thanks to Kiarna for pictures and the writeup!)

“No, No. This is a Semi-Formal Event. You Didn’t Need to Wear Joseph.”

The jacket part of the Part 2 suit jackets are finally almost ready, and, despite looking like a wand, so is the Red Stone lapel pin. You remember the Part 2 suits, right? They were a series of suit pieces based on the core cast of Part 2, Joseph, Caeser, Lisa Lisa, and the Red Stone made and offered by the Haruyama company. The first release of them only contained the shirts, squares, ties, cuffslinks, and tie clips with promises of that lapel and suit jacket. Didn’t expect the tartan pattern on the suit jacket. I’d say it’s because the ED key on the outside might be a little ostentatious, but we’re talking about JoJo’s and clothing.

As opposed to the other suit items, there’s currently no online purchase for the suit jacket. There’s a list of stores, but I’m not sure how the distribution is going to work. The jacket hasn’t officially launched yet and won’t until sometime in mid March. That is now, but it’s not mid enough, I guess. It’s running for the heavy price of ¥59,900, but it is a quality suit jacket. On the other hand, the lapel pin is available online for ¥4,980.

It’s a little heavy, but can you really afford not to go to prom in the most stylish suit? That’s what I thought.
